Definitions
- the embodiments described herein relate to retrieval devices, some embodiments relate to system and methods for endovascular temporary Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filters.
- IVC Inferior Vena Cava
- Temporary IVC filters are placed like permanent filters, but are designed so that they may be retrieved in a separate endovascular procedure, generally from a femoral vein or internal jugular vein approach.
- Most of the currently-available temporary filters include a hook-like feature with which they can be captured and received within a catheter or sheath for removal by employing a gooseneck snare or a multi-loop snare.
- the elongate retrieval device includes a braid structure at the distal end of an elongate shaft, the proximal end of which is accessible to the user directly or by way of a proximal user interface (e.g., a control handle).
- the braid structure can include one or more layers of braid, and in many embodiments, is configured as a funnel having an interior flap, such that the funnel has a distal opening that is relatively larger than a proximal opening at the proximal edge of the flap.
- one or more tethers can be located at or near the proximal opening.
- the one or more tethers can have various configurations.
- a portion of a tether passes through the braid at the proximal opening and extends across the proximal opening (e.g., like a diameter or chord of a circle or ellipse) in a configuration crossing the proximal opening.
- portions of one or more tethers can be arranged to cross both the proximal opening and each other in a symmetrical crossing configuration (e.g., at right angles like a cross-hair in the case of two tether portions) or a non-symmetrical crossing configuration (e.g., where two tether portions cross at non-perpendicular angles).
- the tether portions of the crossing configuration can also extend at least partially around the peripheral rim of the proximal opening.
- a portion of a tether can extend at least partially around the proximal opening, with or without one or more tether portions in a crossing configuration. Additional embodiments are disclosed, including additional embodiments of systems utilizing retrieval devices, and methods of using such systems and/or devices to retrieve a foreign body from within a patient.
- Figs. 1A and IB depicts examples of IVC filters usable with the systems and/or methods hereof.
- FIG. 2 is a side view depicting an example embodiment of a retrieval system.
- Fig. 3 is a side-sectional view depicting another example embodiment of a retrieval system.
- Fig. 4 is an end-view depicting an example embodiment of the braided portion of a retrieval device.
- Fig. 5 is a partial side-sectional view depicting an example embodiment of a retrieval system.
- Fig. 6 is a side-sectional view depicting an example embodiment of a user interface for a retrieval device.
- Figs. 7A-7C depict example embodiments of strand patterns.
- FIGs. 8 A and 8B are partial side- sectional views depicting example embodiments of retrieval devices with different proximal aperture or rim support-strut configurations.
- Example embodiments of IVC filter/object retrieval system with improved usability and with less susceptibility to the object's (e.g., IVC filter) orientation issues are disclosed.
- the IVC object retrieval system may be used with a wide variety of filter architectures— existing or otherwise. Accordingly, new filters may be designed for use with the disclosed IVC object retrieval system in which fewer design constraints and/or compromises may be required of the filter design.
- filters with which the present embodiments can be used for retrieval or other purposes include existing and/or modified versions of the filters described in any of United States Patent Nos.
- the funnel trap may be constructed of heatset braid, e.g., superelastic (SE) nickel -titanium alloy (nitinol) braid.
- SE superelastic
- the funnel-shaped end of a retrieval device may include a distal rim defining a distal opening, and a more proximal aperture or opening defined at a proximal end of an inner portion (e.g., a flap).
- the proximal aperture can then be closed (e.g., by cinching) to effect capture of the filter or other foreign body.
- the retrieval system includes loop-type features that are actuatable to close the proximal aperture.
- loop-type features that are actuatable to close the proximal aperture.
- a strand of material may be used to extend as a tether to the proximal end of the retrieval system for actuation.
- Example of spliced-loop lasso and tether systems are described therein.
- the retrieval system includes an aperture actuation apparatus having a non-spliced or two-ended loop, which provides better or more effective aperture actuation.
- the non-spliced or two-ended loop lasso provides a more complete aperture or opening closure, with less required user input (in terms of length to pull and/or force to actuate) to close aperture.
- the non-spliced (or two-ended) loop is formed by a length of tether (e.g., a suture, cord, fiber or filament, formed from, e.g., polymeric, metallic (e.g., nitinol) or a hybrid or composite materials, or others) with two free ends.
- tether e.g., a suture, cord, fiber or filament, formed from, e.g., polymeric, metallic (e.g., nitinol) or a hybrid or composite materials, or others
- tether e.g., a suture, cord, fiber or filament, formed from, e.g., polymeric, metallic (e.g., nitinol) or a hybrid or composite materials, or others
- the non-spliced loop can offer the added benefit of tether members acting in parallel (e.g., as in a parallel spring arrangement) to limit stretch associated with forceful system manipulation.
- the retrieval system may include a crossing structure of tether material or other filament(s) at the proximal aperture.
- the crossing structure is a separate feature are not integrated with the encircling lasso. Separating the crossing structure (e.g., cross-hairs) from the loop allows for their independent actuation and associated improvement in proximal aperture closure.
- the tethers can, in some embodiments, be arranged as four solo strands.
- the tether of the retrieval system may include two sets (e.g., two strands with two ends).
- a tripod configuration may be formed using a set of two tethers (those for the loop) and two others (those for the crosshairs).
- These embodiments offer a measure of symmetry in applying tension (or resisting tension) around the aperture as compared to single-tether approaches.
- the retrieval system may employ two, three and four legged symmetry options. Stated otherwise, 2- way, 3 -way and 4-way symmetry tethering systems may be employed. Or still further, options are provided with bilateral, trilateral and/or quadrilateral symmetry.
- these sets of strands may be synergistically employed in connection with a pair of additional support struts.
- a first pair of tether strands may be received within a first tubular support strut and a second pair of tether strands may be received in a second tubular support strut, the struts may be sized so that tether pull that would otherwise draw the inner flap and proximal aperture inward (or more proximally) is supported to avoid such action.
- the support struts may be used in configurations other than the paired option.
- a single support strut may be employed.
- tether(s) may be connected to a core member that extends from the proximal end to at least mid-way or more preferably to within at least about 2 to 10 cm of the distal end of the device.
- a core member is configured (e.g., by material selection and/or physical geometry) to be stiffer or offer less elasticity than the otherwise full- length tether material.
- the tether strands may be attached to a
- PEEK polyethylethylketone
- a polymer rod or tube allows it to be easily cut- through, which can provide a "bail out” feature by removing tether tension to open the aperture for releasing an embedded foreign object (such as a "stuck” IVC filter).
- a metal wire core member e.g., stainless steel, CoCr or nitinol
- applying tension on the tethers may cause the proximal opening (or aperture) to close and releasing the tension may cause the proximal opening to reopen from the closed position.
- the retrieval system includes a tensioning and de-tensioning mechanism that includes multiple tethers.
- the multiple tethers could be twisted around or relative to each other to shorten their effective length and tighten the lasso and/or cross-hairs associated with the proximal aperture.
- the multiple tethers tensioning and de-tensioning mechanism is highly controllable in that each full turn adds a fine gradation of axial tension and/or movement.
- the same twisting approach to tighten the tethers and aperture in a foreign-object retrieval procedure can be applied in manufacture for pre-loading and/or removing unwanted slack from the lasso and/or cross-hairs.
- the multiple tethers tensioning and de-tensioning mechanism also serves as an actuation mechanism (or user interface) that is both accurate and with tactile-feedback without complex machining, gearing or other user interface requirements.
- the actuation mechanism may be actuated by applying torque or to twist-up the tethers (directly or via an intermediate shaft such as described above).
- a user interface is threaded and works in conjunction with the twist-up of the suture strand(s).
- treads or threading to interfacing members, a hybrid actuation system is created. It is hybrid in the sense that the combination of tether twist and tread advancement (or retraction) controls aperture actuation.
- Such a system may easily incorporate a hemostatic and/or a detent or clicker feature for audibly and/or tactically counting actuation turns.
- Fig. 1 A shows a GLJNTHER TULIP (Cook Medical, Inc.) temporary IVC filter 10 with a retrieval interface 12 configured with a hook end.
- Fig. IB shows an IVC filter 10 where, instead of a hook, the retrieval interface 12 of IVC filter 10 has a nubbin-type interface 22.
- the nubbin may comprise a laser-formed or solder-formed protuberance or bump 24 on an extension 26 from a hub 28.
- filter retrieval interface 12 may comprise a band 24' (e.g., a Pt marker band) mounted (e.g., by swaging, welding, gluing, etc.) on extension 26.
- FIG. 2 provides an overview of a retrieval system 100 in which the features further described may be incorporated, in accordance with various embodiments of the disclosure.
- Retrieval system 100 includes a funnel-trap structure 30, which may be made of a heatset braid material 32.
- funnel-trap structure 30 may be a flexible distal extension to an elongate shaft 34, which can (in some embodiments) be slidably positioned within an elongate sleeve 50.
- elongate sleeve 50 which may be a commercially available catheter or sheath or a custom part of retrieval system 100 configured for advancement through the patient's vasculature, may include a distal radiopaque marker band 52.
- braid 32 may comprise nitinol (e.g., such as that which is superelastic (SE) at human body temperature), CoCr, Stainless Steel or another biocompatible material. Braid 32 may comprise of material having between 72 and 288, or between about 144 and 192 filament "ends" in a 1-over-l, l-over-2, 2-over-2 or other pattern. In some embodiment, the SE nitinol wire may be between about 0.001 and about 0.002 inches in diameter.
- SE superelastic
- a mesh of SE nitinol wire provides a supple and relatively "smooth" matrix surface from which to construct the flexible funnel-trap.
- the value of such a surface is in its atraumatic aspect and/or ability to help guide an IVC filter interface or other foreign body to be captured into position for capture even if it is oriented off-angle. Still, other wire sizes and/or end counts in a braid or other construction options are possible as well.
- funnel trap structure 30 may be selectively directable. As indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2, the material from which structure 30 is made can be heatset or otherwise configured to provide a bias in an angular direction. The angle of deployment of structure 30 may be selectable or fully straightened by relative position of a core member or obturator (not shown) or by a sleeve or catheter sheath. Further positioning may be achieved by rotating the device as further illustrated. Alternatively, sleeve 50 may be shaped to flex shaft 34 to set trap structure 30 position.
- Trap structure 30 may be generally frusto-conical in shape as shown or otherwise configured. With an outer conical shape (e.g., a triangular shape in cross section as shown in Fig. 3) structure 30 is highly supportive, yet provides a flexible "waist" section 48 for the directable feature options noted above. Still, the device may be bowed outward along its sides or otherwise configured.
- an outer conical shape e.g., a triangular shape in cross section as shown in Fig. 3
- structure 30 is highly supportive, yet provides a flexible "waist" section 48 for the directable feature options noted above. Still, the device may be bowed outward along its sides or otherwise configured.
- a distal rim opening (or aperture) 40 of structure 30 may be larger than its proximal rim opening 42 to create a structure that tapers down in the distal to proximal direction.
- filter engagement feature 24' (as shown in Fig. 2) of device 10 (e.g., an IVC filter) may be guided along braid material 32 and through proximal opening 42.
- a pocket (P) may be formed within the substantially conical or frusto-conical braid wall 44.
- structure 30 upon capturing device 10, structure 30 can be withdrawn from the patient's body without first retracting structure 30 into an outer sleeve (e.g., device 50) and then withdrawing from the body through an introducer sheath located at the percutaneous opening.
- structure 30 after capturing device 10, structure 30 can be withdrawn into sleeve 50 and then device 10, structure 30, and sleeve 50 can be withdrawn together through an introducer sheath and out of the patient's body.
- the retrieval process may be visualized fluoroscopically by a physician during the medical procedure.
- the catheter or pusher shaft 34, sleeve 50 or other catheters or sheaths used in or with the system may comprise of medical grade plastics such as PTFE, FEP, PEEK, PI, etc. Alternatively, they may be constructed using conventional catheter construction techniques and include a liner, braid support and outer jacket (not shown), metal hypotube, etc. In embodiments intended for tracking through a guide or delivery catheter without an
- a loading sheath may be employed. Any such loading sheath may be pre- split or splittable. Other typical percutaneous access instruments (such as wires, etc.), valves and other hardware may also be employed in accordance with various embodiments, including medical treatment methods.
- Trap structure 30 can be made as a subassembly and attached to its catheter or pusher shaft 34.
- Structure 30 can include one or more layers of braid 32.
- Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view depicting an example embodiment of structure 30 having an inner layer 32A and an outer layer 32B of braid.
- layers 32A and 32B are formed by fastening or securing two discrete layers of braid together (e.g., by adhesive, by one or more connectors, etc.).
- braid 32 is one continuous sheet or tube of braid that is folded back over itself to form the two layers 32A and 32B. The position where braid 32 is folded back upon itself to form the two layers is indicated by reference numeral 38, and can be referred to as a first fold in braid 32.
- the two layers 32A and 32B of braid 32 can also be folded at a second location, indicated by reference numeral 36, which can be referred to as a second fold in braid 32. Configuration in this manner results in an inner funnel or flap 46 within an outer funnel formed by braid wall 44.
- the peripheral rim of distal opening 40 is formed by second fold 36 and the peripheral rim of proximal opening 42 is formed by first fold 38.
- Inner layer 32A and outer layer 32B of braid 32 can be set in the shape depicted in Fig. 3 by heat- setting using conventional techniques (e.g., in a furnace, salt pot, etc.). In many embodiments, distal opening 40 is larger than proximal opening 42, although other configurations are possible.
- braid portion of structure 30 may have a diameter (D) from about 5 mm to about 20 mm, or more preferably about 10 to about 15 mm (e.g., size in a range to work within average size human IVCs where such vessels are reported as having a mean diameter of 20 mm within a range of 13 to 30 mm).
- the braid portion may have a length (L) ranging from about 10 mm to about 30 mm.
- Structure 30 may have an overall cone angle (a) (between braid walls 44) ranging between 30 to 90 degrees.
- an angle ( ⁇ ) of bend 36 between braid wall 44 and flap 46 may be between about 0 and about 60 degrees
- flap length (F) may be between about 1 and about 10 mm in length.
- Distal opening 40 may have a diameter (d) between about 1.5 and 4 mm. In some embodiments, the diameter of distal opening 40 may be between 2.5-3 mm (for retrieving commercially-available IVC filter devices). Distal opening 40 of structure 30 may be set perpendicularly relative to a device axis. Otherwise, it may be angled or have a more complex shape.
- Fig. 4 is an end-on view of an example embodiment of structure 30.
- structure 30 includes a support member having elongate members 60A, 60B, 60C, 60D, 60E, 60F, and 60G. Any number of one or more elongate members 60 can be used.
- the support member(s) can be interposed between braid layers 32A and 32B.
- Support members 60 can additionally, or alternatively, be located on the inner-most side of inner braid layer 32A as shown in Fig. 5, which is a partial cross-sectional view depicting another example embodiment of device 100. Further optional details of support member construction and/or placement are presented in Int'i Pubi. No. WO 2016/094676, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for all purposes.
- Fig. 4 also shows a crossing arrangement 74 of a tether 76 formed from suture material (e.g., ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture) extending across the inner proximal aperture 42 of the braid in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure.
- suture material e.g., ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture
- UHMWPE ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene
- the strands are symmetrical, resembling a crossing configuration 72. Any symmetrical or non-symmetrical crossing configuration can be used.
- one section of a tether 76 is arranged to twice bisect proximal opening 42 at right angles.
- only a single tether section can extend across proximal opening 42, e.g., such in the form of a diameter or chord of a circle, where no second tether section nor crossing pattern is implemented.
- a first discrete tether section (having two ends) can extend across proximal opening 42 and a second discrete tether section (having two different ends) can extend across proximal opening 42 such that the two discrete tether sections form the crossing configuration 72.
- Another section of tether 76 can be used to form a loop configuration 74 that at least partially encircles (here the loop fully encircles) proximal opening 42.
- Loop configuration 74 is shown positioned outside of crossing configuration 72 for ease of illustration, where in practice loop configuration 74 will be in contact with or in close proximity to innermost braid at proximal opening 42.
- a single section of tether (having two ends) is woven through proximal opening 42 to form both the crossing configuration 72 and loop configuration 74.
- tethers 76 can be seen between braid layers 32A and 32B at or adjacent to proximal opening 42 (e.g., at or near the internal radius thereof).
- one or more tethers 76 form cross-hair 72 and/or loop 74 configurations at the distal opening 40 and/or proximal opening 42 and then the one or more tethers 76 extend proximaily towards and/or into shaft 34.
- Tethers 76 can be used to constrict or allow expansion of openings 40 and/or 42,
- two tethers 76A and 76B are shown coupled with proximal opening 42, although others may be included as will be described in more detail herein.
- Tethers 76 A and 76B can hold the inner flap 46 from pulling out or everting, for example, in the event of forceful device withdrawal where the medical device to be captured is one that includes a hook interface 12. Tethers 76A and 76B can also provide a mechanism for actuating closure of opening or aperture 42.
- tethers 76A and 76B are connected to a core member 80 (which may be tube, wire or rod) positioned within shaft 34.
- the tethers may be glued in a slot, across flats and/or located within an overlying sheath or cover 82 receiving adhesive to effect connection.
- Tethers 76 A and 76B can be pulled or tensioned using core member 80 to tighten down the associated loop 74 and/or cross-hair 72 features.
- core member 80 is omitted and tethers 76A and 76B extend to the proximal end of the device to user interface such as a slide or gear-type device handle.
- core member 80 is useful in that is can be configured to provide greater stiffness (less elasticity) than full-length suture tether(s).
- cross-hair configuration 72 is present at proximal opening 42, while loop configuration 74 is present at distal opening 40.
- loop configuration 74 is present at distal opening 40.
- loop configuration 74 is present at distal opening 40.
- both distal opening 40 and proximal opening 42 have both cross-hair 72 and loop 74 configurations.
- core member 80 can provide a stable user-interface platform as well as surface area against which to form a seal. With core member 80 extending from the proximal end of shaft 34, it offers a position to affix a standard torquer 84.
- the number of rotations applied using the torquer can be counted by including a visual guide or cue on the torquer (such as blacked-out region 86 optionally formed by laser etching or engraving).
- a seal complex (comprising a pair of sleeves 90A, 90B affixed to core member to define an O-ring groove, an O-ring 92 in that groove and a stop 94 that is press-fit or glued into sleeve 34) is advantageously provided as well.
- System 100 in Fig. 5 shows two tethers 76 A and 76B.
- the perspective shown might be illustrative of two grouped pairs of tethers or four tethers - with only half of them showing due to the sectional nature of the view.
- other tether configurations are possible as well.
- Fig. 6 depicts an example embodiment of a user interface 200 that can be manually held by the user outside of the patient's body.
- a concentric arrangement of a core member 80 and a shaft sleeve 34 are shown.
- Core member 80 may extend outside shaft 34.
- an O-ring 202 shown compressed
- O- ring 202 may be relatively larger than in the Fig. 5 assembly. This is possible without compromising system profile as groove 204 in this configuration is between a proximal end or face 206 and a wall 208 of a sleeve 210.
- Sleeve 210 may include threading 212 that mates or matches with that of an outer torquer body 214, which may include a knurled or checkered pattern 216 for user grip.
- Torquer body 214 may be connected to core member 80 with adhesive 218 or by other means. Threaded sleeve 210 may be connected to shaft 34 by adhesive 220 or other means. When turning torquer body 214 and gripping shaft 34 (which may also be textured for improved grip, such as by media blasting), torquer body 214 either advances distally or retracts proximally with the direction of the threading. To count or otherwise track the number or revolutions or turns applied, the components can be tactically and/or audibly counted by incorporating a detent or click feature(s) in the gap (G) between sleeve 210 and torquer body 214.
- torquer body 214 may be turned (e.g., clockwise employing left-handed threads) so that it pulls back (e.g., moves proximally) while the tethers are also being twisted, which results in the closing or constricting of opening 42.
- significantly fewer turns with system 200 are needed to tighten the aperture loop 74 and/or cross-hairs 72 as compared to other closing methods where the torquer is setup only to rotate.
- the core member is also advanced - with such combined action (e.g., with translation) causing such a result with fewer turns (e.g., as with tightening above).
- system 200 may be regarded as a type of hybrid user interface. It is hybrid in the sense that it uses threads/threading for axial or translative action in conjunction with the twist-up tightening option also described.
- Figs. 7A-7C these figures illustrate different loop 74 and cross-hair (or X-shaped) 72 sewing or threading patterns for location at or adjacent to proximal opening 42.
- the configuration of loop 74 can extend entirely around proximal opening 42 (Fig. 7A), substantially entirely around proximal opening 42 (Fig. 7C), or partially around proximal opening 42 (Fig. 7B).
- loop 74 will be fit or located between braid layers 32A and 32B at first fold 38.
- the tethers that form the cross-hair configuration may be located above or below loop 74 at or adjacent to proximal opening 42.
- each tether strands around proximal opening 42 may be at the same location at different locations.
- one or more of the tether strands cross over and bend around the adjacent braid toward the proximal end (user interface end).
- one of the strands may pass through another at a crossing point 78 in the loop configuration. Alternatively, this pass-through feature may be omitted and each strand is simply adjacent to each other.
- the material defining cross-hairs 72 is partially incorporated in defining loop 74 in the lower-left quadrant.
- the meeting points of strands e.g., 76A/76D and 76B/76C
- the meeting points of strands may involve pierced crossing points or a twisted, woven or intertwining approach as shown.
- Proximally directed force e.g., pull
- each of the four tethers effects independent tightening of each length interacting with opening/aperture 42.
- each paired set of tethers can be received within a support sleeve or strut 90 A, 90B. Configured as shown, the struts "float" as they are held in place by the concentric arrangement of the tether sections.
- each strut is abutted proximally at the distal end of shaft 34 and distally at the rim of proximal opening 42.
- the rim remains stable in position, with the stmts in compression and tether tension transmitted to the loop and/or cross-hairs to at least partially close opening 42.
- the struts may be ovalized or flattened along their length. Such a configuration allows for side-by-side suture reception and/or minimal combined width (W) where the pieces come together (e.g., proximally within the trap section 30 when deployed, but along their entire length when collapsed in sheath 50).
- W minimal combined width
- the struts may be formed by extending and bisecting sleeve 34 and covering those portions with thin walled (e.g., 0.003-0.005 inch) tubing.
- the sleeves will contain the tethers and the shaft extensions will be bear compressive load(s).
- support members 60 A, 60B, etc. may be included in the construct such as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Or both support member(s) 60 and the strut(s) 90 may be employed (although not shown) in combination.
- Fig. 8B illustrates another support strut configuration in accordance with some embodiments.
- the extension (E) may be curved, canted or bent, or incorporate a switch-back or S-turn so that its end 92 does not align with the center of opening 42.
- this is an option as are other (associated) possible cross-hairs and/or loop configurations.
- only two tethers 76A and 76B are provided in this example. They may synch a two-ended loop, alone, to close opening 42 or be otherwise used.
- an endovascular medical device includes an elongate shaft connected to a flexible distal extension including a braid, the braid having a distal rim defining a distal opening and a proximal rim defining a proximal opening, where the shaft and the flexible distal extension are configured for insertion into vasculature of a patient; a portion of a tether extending through the braid at the proximal rim across the proximal opening; and a proximal user interface configured to tension the tether.
- the braid has a first fold that forms two layers of the braid, and the two layers have a second fold, where the second fold is at the distal rim of a funnel-shaped structure and the first fold is at the proximal rim of the funnel-shaped structure.
- the portion of the tether extends across the proximal opening twice in a crossing configuration.
- the portion of the tether is a portion of a first tether
- the medical device further includes a portion of a second tether arranged as a loop at least partially encircling the proximal rim.
- the portion of the second tether can be arranged as a loop between the two layers of braid.
- the portion of the second tether fully encircles the proximal opening.
- the first tether has two ends
- the second tether has two ends, the two ends of the first tether being received within a first tubular strut, and the two ends of the second tether being received within a second tubular strut.
- the first and second tubular struts can be positioned between the proximal opening of the flexible distal extension and a distal end of the elongate shaft.
- the medical device further includes a core member received within the shaft, wherein the tether is connected at a distal end of the core member.
- the proximal user interface can include a torquer connected or affixed to the core member.
- the medical device can further include an externally threaded interface, where the torquer is internally threaded.
- the medical device further includes a sleeve connected at a proximal end of the elongate shaft, the sleeve including the externally threaded interface.
- the first tether and second tether extend proximally from the proximal opening toward the proximal user interface. In some embodiments, the second tether crosses the proximal opening twice to form a right angle crossing configuration.
- the proximal opening is configured to capture a retrieval interface of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter.
- IVC inferior vena cava
- a medical method for retrieving a foreign body including: advancing an endovascular medical device in a patient's vasculature, the medical device comprising: an elongate shaft connected to a flexible distal extension comprising a braid, the braid having a distal rim defining a distal opening and a proximal rim defining a proximal opening; a portion of a tether extending through the braid at the proximal rim across the proximal opening; passing a portion of the foreign body to be retrieved through the proximal opening; and tensioning the tether with the foreign body extending through the proximal opening.
- the method further includes twisting opposite ends of the tether around each other to achieve the tensioning. In some embodiments, the method further includes supporting the proximal opening with at least one strut during the tensioning.
- the method further includes withdrawing the foreign body from the patient's vasculature with the endovascular medical device.
- the tether is a first tether in a crossing configuration
- the endovascular medical device further comprising a second tether in a loop configuration around the proximal rim.
- the method further includes tensioning the first tether and the second tether with the foreign body extending through the proximal opening.
- the foreign body is an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter and the portion of the foreign body is a retrieval interface of the IVC filter.
- IVC inferior vena cava
- Embodiment methods may be carried out in any order of the events which is logically possible, as well as any recited order of events.
- Embodiment methods may include any of a hospital staf s activities associated with device provision, implant positioning, re-positioning, implant or device retrieval and/or release.
